        <p>
          Welcome to my website! I am interested in using gravitational waves and general-relativistic magnetohydrodynamic simulations
          to understand the properties of black holes, neutron stars, and their mergers. I have <a href="assets/images/dogs.jpg" style="text-decoration: none;">two dogs</a> and a <a href="assets/images/cat.jpg" style="text-decoration: none;">cat</a>, and I am a proud
          advocate for diversity and accessibility in STEM. I will be starting my Ph.D. in Physics at Washington State University in Fall 2026.

        <h3>Phase-Transition-Induced Collapse of Neutron Stars</h3>
        <p>
          I study how neutron stars collapse and emit gravitational waves using large-scale
          numerical simulations, and analyze the resulting signals to understand the underlying physics.

        <p>
          I work on identifying transient noise in LIGO data, using data analysis and machine-learning tools to improve
          how these noise sources are found. Read about it <a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2602.23460">here!</a>
